We give the returns of majorities to-duy from about 30 counties, in the heart of the State. Enough has not been received to indicato certainly the result for Governor. The falling off from 1840 is tremendous, but our capital of 10,000 spins out well. If tho Reserve equals our expectations, modified by the results elsewhere, we shall yet elect Corwin. Shannon's majority if elected, must bo small. Considering the strength of tho current against us, tho Miami Valley has done nobly. Compared with 1838, tho Whig cause has attained great additional strength. Preble holds out with a giant's power. Clinton, glorious, unconquerable Clinton what a Paradise of Whig incorniption nnd invincibility! Clark, truly the " San Marino " of the State ! Those hive done well. So has Fayette. To Fuyelte belongs the honor, amidst the general defection and rout, of having increased the Whig majority of 1810. Nor let us forget the "Miami Tribe," who havo fought the battle with memorable faith and courage. It is not probable, that we can indulge rational hopes of the legislature. The apportionment, as has been so often stutcd, is so much against us, that it is at best but a forlorn hope. Tho Destructives, doubtless, have every thing within their grasp. In rogard to the aggregate vote, our returns thus fur, do not enable us to speak confidently. Clark County has polled 31 18 votes. In the Stute election of 18 10, it polled 3270. Corwin had in '40, 2310 '42, 2082, King 50. Shannon hud in '40, UtKJ '43, 1)86. Increase of Shannon's vote 20 decrease of Corwin's 224. Warren gavo inl810,4383 Corwr.2752 Shannon, 1031. Now Corwin's vote is 2525, Stiannon's 1013, and King's 47. Champaign, in 1810, gave altogether, 3280, of which Corwin had UKI8, and Shannon 1282. Now tho aggregate is 2i)3!, (King's vote not stated) of which Corwin has t)88, and Shannon 1251. Fayette in 1840 gave in all I.!Hi3. Now it gives 1,037. In 1840 Corwin had 1,141 Shannon 822. Now Corwin has 1,12!), Shannon 808, nnd King 50, From tho indications afforded by these results, Shannon's vote will be about what it was before, nnd the losses on Corwin's majority in 1840, will bo loss upon tho aggregate voto of that year. Thus far wo are g ad to see the resigning mem bers havo been well sustained. Schenck, Hornet Stanton, Updcgraff, Probosco, McCrea and Olds, are all re-elected nnd so we doubt not are Foos and Smith. Wo lose Judge Brown in Guernsey, by a small vote the only resigning member who was a caudidato that has been defeated this full. Hawkins comity sustained his courae proudly. Possibly Powell has been defeated, and we have had apprehensions for Bliss1 fate, in Medina and Iornin. Elsewhere, every resigning Whig who was a candidate, will be returned. P. S. SoVori. Tho northern stage from Sandusky is just in. The intelligence brought by it, is of the very bluest description, and may be considered as decisivo of the result. u IVUsing Shunning has got a tann no it goes the other way : " Wil-sing Shunning" confound it, let the I.oco Focos nvtko their own rhymes jingle.

The returns since tho publication of our paper, yesterday, are more disastrous than before. The Reservo falls off heavily, whilst tlie boco Foco ma jorities in Wayne, Stark, Holmes and Columbiana are increased. The only green spot in the cost, is Carroll and Jefferson, where we have gained two Representatives in tlie Legislature, and obtained a vote for Governor at least equal to what it was in 1840. But this is more than counterbalanced by in telligence of our defeat, in tlie Clermont district, notwithstanding the gallant efforts of our friends in Clinton. We lose Mr. Foos for the Senate, and four Representatives. The Statesman claims all tlie Ross delegation, but By ing ton's election is not certain. At any rate his escape has been a narrow one.

Our caudidato for Representative, Wm.GHncs, Esq., is defeated by a majority of only one hundred and ninety-nine votes! Every trick and the most unscru pulous means have been resorted to in this county to carry tho day for Shannon and Allen. Tho Loco Central Committee came out in a circular or hand bill a few days before election, proclaiming Morgan good for 500 for Shannon.

Caihouk: My Dear Sir: If I have addressed this letter to you, it. ia not alone from the justification which 1 find in Uie recollections of on old and cherished friendship, but from the fact that I desire to attract Uie public attention to its object, through Uie instrumentality of a name far more influential Uian my own. Bo not surprised, if you aee it first in tho newspapers. I wish not only "to Uiink aloud," but sjieak I1IOUU. My purpose in writing to you. ia to nut vou in noa- session of a knowledge of Uie condition of the Amer ican creuit in r.urope, with a suggestion of the mdis-pcnsablo necessity of our doing something at home to tiitct the truly ulnriiiiiiir crisis, which this state of things presenu,. I om lur from defendinc the nrofuso confidence. with which European capitalists lent their monev during a period of six years from 1SI4 to 1810, to our country, even on Uie faith of a variety cf schemes, exceedingly visionary and unsound. They did this, however, out of the excess of a virtue which may have been pushed to the extent of rather an amiable than criminal weakness; for they generally made these loans ot a less rate of interest lliun they could be cll'uctcd, if at all at home, and nnnarentlv fur ob jects of great public utility. But the loans to the iiuiii;3 amuu uii a uuii'ieni lUOMIIfj. ill IOUSI III rui- erenco to the public sanctions with which they are invested. They wcro niado according to your reading and mine, of the Constitution, to sovereigns under the obligations of a high public faith; many of them were contracted on terms greatly udvantageous under tho agency of houses of the Hrst rcstcclabil-ity, whuse liberality and confidence, knew no bounds. 1 Jus commence was given to our young country becnuso our resources (in no degree exaggerated) wero considered iinincnse.and because it was thoitirlit. as we arc of tho Saxon family, we wero essentially a debt paying people. Indeed, from nn observation, which a larger residence lor the last live years in Kuropo than in America enables me to make, it is iiiite obvious, if wo had paid Uio interest on our loreiL'ii debt that the rate ol that interest would have In 1 1 en gradually to the level of that paid by some of tne oldest ana Dcst established Mates in KurnDc. and and that for objects of well founded public utility, and even of private entcrprite, our industry at home might have been almost indefinitely inviguratcd out of tho largo surplus capital of this country. You nui say, i am sure, mat luis manly ol borrowing has been a great curse lo our own. This I admit, is true to a certain extent ; but it was converted into a L'ursc oy tno action ot our government on Uie cur rency of the United States. Under judicious regulations and prudential guards, a state of Uiingsmoro propitious to the development of Uie resources of a young country like ours, borrowing of an old ono use win,, iu capital to invigorate its junor, at a low rate of interest, cannot well be conceived. If the profits of labor transcended tho rnto of interest, it was to create capital at home, r rom what oUior source have sprung those miracles of enterprise and wenun mat aro to De lounu in our country in the midst of a population of eighteen millions but this conjoint action of our labor on the capital of others. i tie i-ugrims lounu no uanic ol r.nghind planted on tho rock of Plymouth, or Uio liucgcnota of South Carolina, the gems of Samarcand on its thirsty plains. Hut if ynu consider this faculty of borrowing abroad, my Dear Sir, as on evil, you may certainly consule yourself with tho conviction that it no longer exists, although I am equally convinced that you will regret Uie causo which has produced Uiia wont of all cuiitidi'iico in the good faith of llie people of the U-nitcd Stntea and the conscijuences which havo followed in fixing ao severe a Btigma on Uio character of our country. It is absurd lor its to talk in America that wo do not want the capital of Knropo : at the very moment when tho lioncral Government of the Stntea has sent an agent abroad to borrow for its daily bread. We lo want tneir money, and they want the results of mr Intior. And rrcullv then is it to be deo orcd that this beneficial interchange has been suspended un- ner circumstances ao disastrous to botn countries. Let me now give you a brief statement of the nroa- cnt condition of American credit in Kuropc, and without presuming to auggest a remedy, Ui inquire of you whether the forco ol public opinion, (if Con gress hns not the constitutional competency to do any thing,) acting through the Legislatures of Uio defaulting States, cannot be made sufficiently potent 10 convince mem or me tnitn ana lorco ol Uie old adage that, after all, in Uio long run, " honesty ia Uie best policy." 1 lis first branch of my subject I can discuss in a very few words. As our old friend John Randolph used tn aay, American credit ia killed "atone dead." John Jacob Astor might obtain an uncovered credit for a reasonable amount, (where he was known) and Mr. bates of tlie house of Barings, by wearing out a juir of shoes in walking from the Mansion House to tho Minorica, might sell fifteen hundred pounds worth of Massachusetts stock, witn large concessions to the buyer. The fact is not the less to be concoalcd that wo begin In be regarded as a nation of sharpers and awindlcra, with whom, if Uie day of Judgment should happen to be Monday, our day will not be until the Tuesday following. Thia revulsion of confidence does not arise so much from a discredit which attached to our re sources, or, in other words, ourabihty to pay, aa our seeming indisposition lo pay. Tho lormer is still considered in most cases as undoubted, whilst aaick- cning distrust has fallen upon the latter. Hence it is, that whilst the rate of interest hns fallen Uiis day to two and a hnlf ier cent, in tho Ixnulun market, it is not probable that if the commissioners of Uio United States six per cent, lonn, wore to oiler a price which wouiu secure an interest ol ten per cent ten minus oi uie siock could l0 sold, witlumt I mm con siderations of policy, under the advice of loril Ash-burton on his return to Kngland.Uio Barings should no iniiiiccii in inae uio loan. When wo contrast this discredit of our own coun try, teeming with audi aiirantic resources with the palmy credit ol other htnlea that have little else but good laith, anil high taxntion to oiler, it is impossible to refer it to any other cause but a deep moral distrust in us tho most ignominious curse that can fall on a peoplo who aspire to bo civilired and froo. Of the truth, of this fact, I cannot give you a better proof than that whilst no ono will look to, and capitalists turn with aversion from, the United Stales loan, tho compnritively insignifiesnt towu of Hamburg, with iu population of !W0,000 inhabitants lo enable it to riso out of Us ashes, has borrowed at 114 nor cent, precisely double tho amount of our proposed loan, ono farthing of which tho United Slnlca Commissioner will probably not be ablo to negotiate. Denmark and Belgium, neither of which would be scarcely a breakfast for tho hungry stomach of Brother Jonathan on a frosty morning, can borrow at our per com. wnat tney want, and England and Holland, with Iho principal of a public debt, the pny-mont of which la likely to becomo contemporaneous with the discovery of neriietnal motion, cnu burrow just what they want, at under three per eenL, because they pay their inlcreats, and tax themselves to pay ineir inioresis. Aa a Statesman and Patrot, I am sure, my dear sir, you will say that this state of things must not bo p 'nnitted to last No country can continue in tho worst spocios of insolvency, a bankruptcy in its repnto, without losing that aclf-respert which ia the salient spring of nil Uint givee vigor and renown to national character. It may bo said Uint as a nation wo aro in no degreo responsible fur Uiia decadence in the credit of the States, This may be true tn a certain extent. Our nitionnl and political aggregation, however, if I may ao ajvak, ia made up of this fnmily of States, and you mny leiend upon it that other nnliona and posterity will hold the irovemmcm of the Union morally responsible fur the chnrnctor of its members, although the forms of our federal system may dischargo it from a legal liability fur their engagements. Admitting Uie potency, nnd the extent of Iho evil, you will ask what is the remedy ? This, my good sir, is precisely llie question I am about loask you in the form of a 'specific inquiry, whether public opin ion tlirougn Uie Union, may not rccrivo such an organization by tho actii.it of Congress, tioptilar moot ing, and the press, as to iWurr the rriiiifins; tSrnfri to hnltt Conttriih'mu thin im'nfrr, comprehending thoan who have negotiated lureign loans, who nevertheless have met punctually their dividends, that by united action they may induce tne Legislatures of the sov eral indebted Stales to impose, and Uie people to bear such taxes aa shall provide the means of paying Uie interest, and establishing a sinking fund for Uie gradual extinguishment of the principal of their public debt? I cannot believe Uiat these appeals to State prido, and National honor would be unavailing. You see that I lay out of account Uie assumption of Uio State debts by tho Federal Government, because I often fear, if this expectation were held out, the defaulting States would do nothing of themselves, and Uie exigency has not yet arisen when audi on onerous responsibility ought to be assumed by the National Government, so unjust to those Stales who are faithfully paying Uieir debts, and to others who have perhaps been far wisor lo forbear contracting any, although I can conceive a suite of things in which such assumption as a measure of finance and naUonal policy might be ominently expedient I am gratified to inform you, amidst tins convulsion in the credit of several of the Slates, our own South Carolina " wears her beaver up." She ia never in arrear one day, and very often, as at this moment, (in reference to tho loan 1 contracted for her) has her interest six monthB in advanco in her banker's hands. This is not surnrisinir. You know it hns been one of our familiar and household lcssonB at home to sub mit cheerfully to the imposition of direct taxes, to support the security and honor of our country, and Hence by a habit which we derived from the buried "warlike and tho wiso" who have made us what wo aro, wo pay our Stato taxes with almost as much alacrity as wc givo money to our wives and children. If tho defaulting Stales would only practice on this doctrine, the smallest imposition would produce an amount abundantly sufficient to resuscitate their credit. Occupying tho position you do, I sincerely hope, my dear air, that your inllucnce throughout the Union will be brought to bear on Uiia sreat national question. We all know Uiat our countrymen are es sentially honest, because Uiey are essentially sagacious aa well as, in the main, right-principled, and require merely a proper direction to be given to Uieir exertions lo muko even an heroic effort to recover and siistuin the character nf the country. But, auxiliary to thesu efforts, something more remains to bo done by yourself. It is to lend vigorously tho powers of your own genius, and the impulses of your own patriotism, in your appropriate sphere, the Senate of Uio United States, to crcato and establish a sound circulating medium throughout the Union, convertible into specie, but in sufficient abundance to elevate Uie standard of value from the dreadful depression to which it has fallen, and in fact, to bo adequate lo perform the exchanges of trade and value in our country. Whether this be a Bank of the United States or an issue of a redeemable cur rency by tho Federal Treasury, is not of so much comparative importance, as Uiat we should havo an abundant unilbnn circulation from some source or other, which, milking allowance for the variations in the balance of trade, shall be of equal value in Now Orleans and Boston. This circulation, in the recess of that financial wisdom which is pnst finding out, was destroyed by our friend General Jackson, when ho slew Uie Bank of tho United States, with tlie arm of Sampson, and almost "with the self saino weapon, too," when we recollect all the twaddle of tho old gentleman on Uiia subject He, as Burko said, was certainly a "con-siimmato architect of Ruin," in Ins time and tide, nnd had the happy faculty of impersonating a corporation " iu his mind's eye," for the purpose of hating it as cordially as lie once did you and Air. Poindcx-ler. When, therefore, Mr. Biddle entered into a contest with Uiis hero of two years, ho forgot the wisdom of tho Spanish nroveib, "That he who acta down to dine with the devil ahould cat with a long spoon." What has been Uio result of Uiia fcaat in oroKcn meat and empty piatea you well know. It haa left our country palsied indeed hungry in flesh and poor in spirit I doubt, since the creation of Uie world, wiiellicr such an example can be exhibited as wo hnve prcaentcd for the last sixteen year, of folly and mis-govcrnmcnt No Southern planter would permit hit pluntntion for ono hour to be governed with such a Inck of all sense and providence. The Caffraa and Hottentots, in reference to Iheir condition, I doubt not, have bocn governed wilh a policy far more vigilunt and enlightened. A country oi immenso resources, in a period of profound pence, on the verge of bankruptcy ! Any man who will read Hume's essay on "Public Credit" and on "Sloney," can be at no loas to trace our present condition to its true cause. We have bocn suffering ever since General Jackson destroyed the Banks of the United States (with tlie exception of a short period of distempered inflation created by his own measures) under a steadily diminishing circula tion, which mu eminent piiuosoplior to whom 1 have referred has declared to be ono of the worst calamities that can befall a civilized country far more disastrous "than the continued blight of unfavorable harvosts and sensons." This result haa been first in tho constant action of Uio Federal Government, or Uieir supposed meditated action on Uie Banks of llio Slates, which created a universal panic, that has compelled the Banks to withdraw Uieir circulation, and next tho General Government permitting to remain in criminal aboyance Uieir sovereign function to aupply a currency equal lo the wants of Uie country, and "to regulate ita value." The consequence ia, Uiat the Stntea have nothing in the shape of credit, or money at home to pay with abroad. Every species of property haa fallen from fifty lo one hundred per cent and tho standard of value so acriously disturbed, Uiat a man in 183U might have had property to three times the value of his dohu, yot he is now ipso facto ruined by the i-lent transit of our country from a redundant circulation to what aome aro pleased moat felicitoualy to call a hard money currency when the fact la Uiat wo can procure neiUier Uiat which ia hard or aoft. By tin. alteration in tho atandard of value, a revolution is in purtcntoua progress in our country, aa widespread and desolating, as far aa property ia concerned, aa Uiat which distinguished and illustrated the masterpieces of human policy of the Kobespierrea, Dantnna and MaraU of another ill-fated country, which in its Ume was govorned by ita demagogues too, who made paier money so thick Uiat it snowed as-aignata in Uio strcota of Paris, and then turned round and burnt in Uieir phrcmy Uieir own handy work. Look, niv dear sir, at Iho thousands and ten. of thousands of families Uiat have been ruined that havo had unutterable woo carried into tho very bosoms of tlieir houses, by the nostrums of our political quacks, who, in their senseless war on tho very banks Uiey created gave nolimo "by the preparatory revolution of Uio intervening discords," for tlic coiiiury to pass from a period of expansion to ono of aevcre and arid rcstrictiuti. To Uiiwo who hnve been mined in these unhappy times ; whnso estntes havo passed under tho tender griW of tho aherilf, Uio moral justice of General Jackson's iiicmnrablo apothnysm will bo but a dry crust, "that those who borrow money ought to break," a doctrino out of which their creditors are likely to derivo aa littlo comfort aa themselves, although it must bo admitted (hat Uio General tried all he could tn sccuro Ibis bleasinelo thocoiintrv.

The invasion of Uiis State by an external force, tho General Government looking idly on, or countenancing the invasion, would necessarily lead to a civil war ; for Uie conservative interests would not stand by and see all law and all right trampled upon here. During the recent troubles, we had abundant and gratifying evidence that all the sympathy does not flow in Uie kennel. Substantial aid was proffered by citizens of other states ; the best military talent iu the country sought the occasion to serve on the side of tho constitution and Uie laws. More than ono gallant officer in tho United States service proffered his services even at Uie expense of nis commission, j lie ncaiiiong torrents ot radicalism were not tho only tides that were roused ; tha healthful streams of correct public opinion were stirred in their secret fountains, and poured on deep, calm, noiseless, but powerful.

We give the returns of majorities to-duy from about 30 counties, in the heart of the State. Enough has not been received to indicato certainly the result for Governor. The falling off from 1840 is tremendous, but our capital of 10,000 spins out well. If tho Reserve equals our expectations, modified by the results elsewhere, we shall yet elect Corwin. Shannon's majority if elected, must bo small. Considering the strength of tho current against us, tho Miami Valley has done nobly. Compared with 1838, tho Whig cause has attained great additional strength. Preble holds out with a giant's power. Clinton, glorious, unconquerable Clinton what a Paradise of Whig incorniption nnd invincibility! Clark, truly the " San Marino " of the State ! Those hive done well. So has Fayette. To Fuyelte belongs the honor, amidst the general defection and rout, of having increased the Whig majority of 1810. Nor let us forget the "Miami Tribe," who havo fought the battle with memorable faith and courage. It is not probable, that we can indulge rational hopes of the legislature. The apportionment, as has been so often stutcd, is so much against us, that it is at best but a forlorn hope. Tho Destructives, doubtless, have every thing within their grasp. In rogard to the aggregate vote, our returns thus fur, do not enable us to speak confidently. Clark County has polled 31 18 votes. In the Stute election of 18 10, it polled 3270. Corwin had in '40, 2310 '42, 2082, King 50. Shannon hud in '40, UtKJ '43, 1)86. Increase of Shannon's vote 20 decrease of Corwin's 224. Warren gavo inl810,4383 Corwr.2752 Shannon, 1031. Now Corwin's vote is 2525, Stiannon's 1013, and King's 47. Champaign, in 1810, gave altogether, 3280, of which Corwin had UKI8, and Shannon 1282. Now tho aggregate is 2i)3!, (King's vote not stated) of which Corwin has t)88, and Shannon 1251. Fayette in 1840 gave in all I.!Hi3. Now it gives 1,037. In 1840 Corwin had 1,141 Shannon 822. Now Corwin has 1,12!), Shannon 808, nnd King 50, From tho indications afforded by these results, Shannon's vote will be about what it was before, nnd the losses on Corwin's majority in 1840, will bo loss upon tho aggregate voto of that year. Thus far wo are g ad to see the resigning mem bers havo been well sustained. Schenck, Hornet Stanton, Updcgraff, Probosco, McCrea and Olds, are all re-elected nnd so we doubt not are Foos and Smith. Wo lose Judge Brown in Guernsey, by a small vote the only resigning member who was a caudidato that has been defeated this full. Hawkins comity sustained his courae proudly. Possibly Powell has been defeated, and we have had apprehensions for Bliss1 fate, in Medina and Iornin. Elsewhere, every resigning Whig who was a candidate, will be returned. P. S. SoVori.

The Reservo falls off heavily, whilst tlie boco Foco ma jorities in Wayne, Stark, Holmes and Columbiana are increased. The only green spot in the cost, is Carroll and Jefferson, where we have gained two Representatives in tlie Legislature, and obtained a vote for Governor at least equal to what it was in 1840. But this is more than counterbalanced by in telligence of our defeat, in tlie Clermont district, notwithstanding the gallant efforts of our friends in Clinton. We lose Mr. Foos for the Senate, and four Representatives. The Statesman claims all tlie Ross delegation, but By ing ton's election is not certain. At any rate his escape has been a narrow one.

Caihouk: My Dear Sir: If I have addressed this letter to you, it. ia not alone from the justification which 1 find in Uie recollections of on old and cherished friendship, but from the fact that I desire to attract Uie public attention to its object, through Uie instrumentality of a name far more influential Uian my own. Bo not surprised, if you aee it first in tho newspapers. I wish not only "to Uiink aloud," but sjieak I1IOUU. My purpose in writing to you. ia to nut vou in noa- session of a knowledge of Uie condition of the Amer ican creuit in r.urope, with a suggestion of the mdis-pcnsablo necessity of our doing something at home to tiitct the truly ulnriiiiiiir crisis, which this state of things presenu,. I om lur from defendinc the nrofuso confidence. with which European capitalists lent their monev during a period of six years from 1SI4 to 1810, to our country, even on Uie faith of a variety cf schemes, exceedingly visionary and unsound. They did this, however, out of the excess of a virtue which may have been pushed to the extent of rather an amiable than criminal weakness; for they generally made these loans ot a less rate of interest lliun they could be cll'uctcd, if at all at home, and nnnarentlv fur ob jects of great public utility. But the loans to the iiuiii;3 amuu uii a uuii'ieni lUOMIIfj. ill IOUSI III rui- erenco to the public sanctions with which they are invested. They wcro niado according to your reading and mine, of the Constitution, to sovereigns under the obligations of a high public faith; many of them were contracted on terms greatly udvantageous under tho agency of houses of the Hrst rcstcclabil-ity, whuse liberality and confidence, knew no bounds. 1 Jus commence was given to our young country becnuso our resources (in no degree exaggerated) wero considered iinincnse.and because it was thoitirlit. as we arc of tho Saxon family, we wero essentially a debt paying people. Indeed, from nn observation, which a larger residence lor the last live years in Kuropo than in America enables me to make, it is iiiite obvious, if wo had paid Uio interest on our loreiL'ii debt that the rate ol that interest would have In 1 1 en gradually to the level of that paid by some of tne oldest ana Dcst established Mates in KurnDc. and and that for objects of well founded public utility, and even of private entcrprite, our industry at home might have been almost indefinitely inviguratcd out of tho largo surplus capital of this country. You nui say, i am sure, mat luis manly ol borrowing has been a great curse lo our own. This I admit, is true to a certain extent ; but it was converted into a L'ursc oy tno action ot our government on Uie cur rency of the United States. Under judicious regulations and prudential guards, a state of Uiingsmoro propitious to the development of Uie resources of a young country like ours, borrowing of an old ono use win,, iu capital to invigorate its junor, at a low rate of interest, cannot well be conceived. If the profits of labor transcended tho rnto of interest, it was to create capital at home, r rom what oUior source have sprung those miracles of enterprise and wenun mat aro to De lounu in our country in the midst of a population of eighteen millions but this conjoint action of our labor on the capital of others. i tie i-ugrims lounu no uanic ol r.nghind planted on tho rock of Plymouth, or Uio liucgcnota of South Carolina, the gems of Samarcand on its thirsty plains. Hut if ynu consider this faculty of borrowing abroad, my Dear Sir, as on evil, you may certainly consule yourself with tho conviction that it no longer exists, although I am equally convinced that you will regret Uie causo which has produced Uiia wont of all cuiitidi'iico in the good faith of llie people of the U-nitcd Stntea and the conscijuences which havo followed in fixing ao severe a Btigma on Uio character of our country. It is absurd lor its to talk in America that wo do not want the capital of Knropo : at the very moment when tho lioncral Government of the Stntea has sent an agent abroad to borrow for its daily bread. We lo want tneir money, and they want the results of mr Intior. And rrcullv then is it to be deo orcd that this beneficial interchange has been suspended un- ner circumstances ao disastrous to botn countries. Let me now give you a brief statement of the nroa- cnt condition of American credit in Kuropc, and without presuming to auggest a remedy, Ui inquire of you whether the forco ol public opinion, (if Con gress hns not the constitutional competency to do any thing,) acting through the Legislatures of Uio defaulting States, cannot be made sufficiently potent 10 convince mem or me tnitn ana lorco ol Uie old adage that, after all, in Uio long run, " honesty ia Uie best policy." 1 lis first branch of my subject I can discuss in a very few words. As our old friend John Randolph used tn aay, American credit ia killed "atone dead." John Jacob Astor might obtain an uncovered credit for a reasonable amount, (where he was known) and Mr. bates of tlie house of Barings, by wearing out a juir of shoes in walking from the Mansion House to tho Minorica, might sell fifteen hundred pounds worth of Massachusetts stock, witn large concessions to the buyer. The fact is not the less to be concoalcd that wo begin In be regarded as a nation of sharpers and awindlcra, with whom, if Uie day of Judgment should happen to be Monday, our day will not be until the Tuesday following. Thia revulsion of confidence does not arise so much from a discredit which attached to our re sources, or, in other words, ourabihty to pay, aa our seeming indisposition lo pay. Tho lormer is still considered in most cases as undoubted, whilst aaick- cning distrust has fallen upon the latter. Hence it is, that whilst the rate of interest hns fallen Uiis day to two and a hnlf ier cent, in tho Ixnulun market, it is not probable that if the commissioners of Uio United States six per cent, lonn, wore to oiler a price which wouiu secure an interest ol ten per cent ten minus oi uie siock could l0 sold, witlumt I mm con siderations of policy, under the advice of loril Ash-burton on his return to Kngland.Uio Barings should no iniiiiccii in inae uio loan. When wo contrast this discredit of our own coun try, teeming with audi aiirantic resources with the palmy credit ol other htnlea that have little else but good laith, anil high taxntion to oiler, it is impossible to refer it to any other cause but a deep moral distrust in us tho most ignominious curse that can fall on a peoplo who aspire to bo civilired and froo. Of the truth, of this fact, I cannot give you a better proof than that whilst no ono will look to, and capitalists turn with aversion from, the United Stales loan, tho compnritively insignifiesnt towu of Hamburg, with iu population of !W0,000 inhabitants lo enable it to riso out of Us ashes, has borrowed at 114 nor cent, precisely double tho amount of our proposed loan, ono farthing of which tho United Slnlca Commissioner will probably not be ablo to negotiate. Denmark and Belgium, neither of which would be scarcely a breakfast for tho hungry stomach of Brother Jonathan on a frosty morning, can borrow at our per com. wnat tney want, and England and Holland, with Iho principal of a public debt, the pny-mont of which la likely to becomo contemporaneous with the discovery of neriietnal motion, cnu burrow just what they want, at under three per eenL, because they pay their inlcreats, and tax themselves to pay ineir inioresis. Aa a Statesman and Patrot, I am sure, my dear sir, you will say that this state of things must not bo p 'nnitted to last No country can continue in tho worst spocios of insolvency, a bankruptcy in its repnto, without losing that aclf-respert which ia the salient spring of nil Uint givee vigor and renown to national character. It may bo said Uint as a nation wo aro in no degreo responsible fur Uiia decadence in the credit of the States, This may be true tn a certain extent. Our nitionnl and political aggregation, however, if I may ao ajvak, ia made up of this fnmily of States, and you mny leiend upon it that other nnliona and posterity will hold the irovemmcm of the Union morally responsible fur the chnrnctor of its members, although the forms of our federal system may dischargo it from a legal liability fur their engagements. Admitting Uie potency, nnd the extent of Iho evil, you will ask what is the remedy ? This, my good sir, is precisely llie question I am about loask you in the form of a 'specific inquiry, whether public opin ion tlirougn Uie Union, may not rccrivo such an organization by tho actii.it of Congress, tioptilar moot ing, and the press, as to iWurr the rriiiifins; tSrnfri to hnltt Conttriih'mu thin im'nfrr, comprehending thoan who have negotiated lureign loans, who nevertheless have met punctually their dividends, that by united action they may induce tne Legislatures of the sov eral indebted Stales to impose, and Uie people to bear such taxes aa shall provide the means of paying Uie interest, and establishing a sinking fund for Uie gradual extinguishment of the principal of their public debt? I cannot believe Uiat these appeals to State prido, and National honor would be unavailing. You see that I lay out of account Uie assumption of Uio State debts by tho Federal Government, because I often fear, if this expectation were held out, the defaulting States would do nothing of themselves, and Uie exigency has not yet arisen when audi on onerous responsibility ought to be assumed by the National Government, so unjust to those Stales who are faithfully paying Uieir debts, and to others who have perhaps been far wisor lo forbear contracting any, although I can conceive a suite of things in which such assumption as a measure of finance and naUonal policy might be ominently expedient I am gratified to inform you, amidst tins convulsion in the credit of several of the Slates, our own South Carolina " wears her beaver up." She ia never in arrear one day, and very often, as at this moment, (in reference to tho loan 1 contracted for her) has her interest six monthB in advanco in her banker's hands. This is not surnrisinir. You know it hns been one of our familiar and household lcssonB at home to sub mit cheerfully to the imposition of direct taxes, to support the security and honor of our country, and Hence by a habit which we derived from the buried "warlike and tho wiso" who have made us what wo aro, wo pay our Stato taxes with almost as much alacrity as wc givo money to our wives and children. If tho defaulting Stales would only practice on this doctrine, the smallest imposition would produce an amount abundantly sufficient to resuscitate their credit. Occupying tho position you do, I sincerely hope, my dear air, that your inllucnce throughout the Union will be brought to bear on Uiia sreat national question. We all know Uiat our countrymen are es sentially honest, because Uiey are essentially sagacious aa well as, in the main, right-principled, and require merely a proper direction to be given to Uieir exertions lo muko even an heroic effort to recover and siistuin the character nf the country. But, auxiliary to thesu efforts, something more remains to bo done by yourself. It is to lend vigorously tho powers of your own genius, and the impulses of your own patriotism, in your appropriate sphere, the Senate of Uio United States, to crcato and establish a sound circulating medium throughout the Union, convertible into specie, but in sufficient abundance to elevate Uie standard of value from the dreadful depression to which it has fallen, and in fact, to bo adequate lo perform the exchanges of trade and value in our country. Whether this be a Bank of the United States or an issue of a redeemable cur rency by tho Federal Treasury, is not of so much comparative importance, as Uiat we should havo an abundant unilbnn circulation from some source or other, which, milking allowance for the variations in the balance of trade, shall be of equal value in Now Orleans and Boston. This circulation, in the recess of that financial wisdom which is pnst finding out, was destroyed by our friend General Jackson, when ho slew Uie Bank of tho United States, with tlie arm of Sampson, and almost "with the self saino weapon, too," when we recollect all the twaddle of tho old gentleman on Uiia subject He, as Burko said, was certainly a "con-siimmato architect of Ruin," in Ins time and tide, nnd had the happy faculty of impersonating a corporation " iu his mind's eye," for the purpose of hating it as cordially as lie once did you and Air. Poindcx-ler. When, therefore, Mr. Biddle entered into a contest with Uiis hero of two years, ho forgot the wisdom of tho Spanish nroveib, "That he who acta down to dine with the devil ahould cat with a long spoon." What has been Uio result of Uiia fcaat in oroKcn meat and empty piatea you well know. It haa left our country palsied indeed hungry in flesh and poor in spirit I doubt, since the creation of Uie world, wiiellicr such an example can be exhibited as wo hnve prcaentcd for the last sixteen year, of folly and mis-govcrnmcnt No Southern planter would permit hit pluntntion for ono hour to be governed with such a Inck of all sense and providence. The Caffraa and Hottentots, in reference to Iheir condition, I doubt not, have bocn governed wilh a policy far more vigilunt and enlightened. A country oi immenso resources, in a period of profound pence, on the verge of bankruptcy ! Any man who will read Hume's essay on "Public Credit" and on "Sloney," can be at no loas to trace our present condition to its true cause. We have bocn suffering ever since General Jackson destroyed the Banks of the United States (with tlie exception of a short period of distempered inflation created by his own measures) under a steadily diminishing circula tion, which mu eminent piiuosoplior to whom 1 have referred has declared to be ono of the worst calamities that can befall a civilized country far more disastrous "than the continued blight of unfavorable harvosts and sensons." This result haa been first in tho constant action of Uio Federal Government, or Uieir supposed meditated action on Uie Banks of llio Slates, which created a universal panic, that has compelled the Banks to withdraw Uieir circulation, and next tho General Government permitting to remain in criminal aboyance Uieir sovereign function to aupply a currency equal lo the wants of Uie country, and "to regulate ita value." The consequence ia, Uiat the Stntea have nothing in the shape of credit, or money at home to pay with abroad. Every species of property haa fallen from fifty lo one hundred per cent and tho standard of value so acriously disturbed, Uiat a man in 183U might have had property to three times the value of his dohu, yot he is now ipso facto ruined by the i-lent transit of our country from a redundant circulation to what aome aro pleased moat felicitoualy to call a hard money currency when the fact la Uiat wo can procure neiUier Uiat which ia hard or aoft. By tin. alteration in tho atandard of value, a revolution is in purtcntoua progress in our country, aa widespread and desolating, as far aa property ia concerned, aa Uiat which distinguished and illustrated the masterpieces of human policy of the Kobespierrea, Dantnna and MaraU of another ill-fated country, which in its Ume was govorned by ita demagogues too, who made paier money so thick Uiat it snowed as-aignata in Uio strcota of Paris, and then turned round and burnt in Uieir phrcmy Uieir own handy work. Look, niv dear sir, at Iho thousands and ten. of thousands of families Uiat have been ruined that havo had unutterable woo carried into tho very bosoms of tlieir houses, by the nostrums of our political quacks, who, in their senseless war on tho very banks Uiey created gave nolimo "by the preparatory revolution of Uio intervening discords," for tlic coiiiury to pass from a period of expansion to ono of aevcre and arid rcstrictiuti. To Uiiwo who hnve been mined in these unhappy times ; whnso estntes havo passed under tho tender griW of tho aherilf, Uio moral justice of General Jackson's iiicmnrablo apothnysm will bo but a dry crust, "that those who borrow money ought to break," a doctrino out of which their creditors are likely to derivo aa littlo comfort aa themselves, although it must bo admitted (hat Uio General tried all he could tn sccuro Ibis bleasinelo thocoiintrv.

The invasion of Uiis State by an external force, tho General Government looking idly on, or countenancing the invasion, would necessarily lead to a civil war ; for Uie conservative interests would not stand by and see all law and all right trampled upon here. During the recent troubles, we had abundant and gratifying evidence that all the sympathy does not flow in Uie kennel. Substantial aid was proffered by citizens of other states ; the best military talent iu the country sought the occasion to serve on the side of tho constitution and Uie laws. More than ono gallant officer in tho United States service proffered his services even at Uie expense of nis commission, j lie ncaiiiong torrents ot radicalism were not tho only tides that were roused ; tha healthful streams of correct public opinion were stirred in their secret fountains, and poured on deep, calm, noiseless, but powerful.
